I have shared with many. ### 5/5 — Nice and short *2023-01-01, version 1.6.0* I very much enjoyed it ### 5/5 — Great Exercise Experience *2022-12-29, version 1.6.0* Short 7 minute work outs. Each day different varied exercise routine and instructor. All instructors are experienced and motivating. We’ll presented. A great fun App. Fun way to get in a good short workout. App includes donations to a charity you pick, ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2022-12-27, version 1.5.0* Such a wonderful project to move your body everyday (and raise money for charity!) ### 5/5 — Oh what fun! *2022-12-26, version 1.5.0* I follow Marnie Alton and tried this app out. It was very helpful to do during work stretch breaks as well as finding new instructors to follow. Plus it’s for a good cause- to take care of yourself and other organizations! ### 5/5 — Great app but not working :( *2022-12-25, version 1.5.0* I LOVE this app, and have had such a fun time doing the workouts and sharing the gifs. However, as of December 24 the app keeps crashing when I try to open it :( I have tried turning off my phone, updating my phone, deleting and reinstalling the app and I’m so sad about it. I’ve continued doing the workouts on my sisters phone but alas ### 5/5 — Shimmy is great!! *2022-12-24, version 1.5.0* I can always fit in a 7 min workout! I like the variety of the workouts! ### 5/5 — Super fun workouts! *2022-12-23, version 1.4.1* Love the workouts and how easy they are to fit into any day. ### 5/5 — Very excellent work out *2022-12-21, version 1.4.0* I love it! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2022-12-20, version 1.3.0* Great way to get in some movement during your busy day :) ### 5/5 — Shimmy *2022-12-18, version 1.3.0* The best thing - gets you engaged for only 7 minutes! The good thing - gets your heart rate up in 7 minutes! The Shimmy thing - you feel good about yourself in 7 minutes!!! What’s your SHIMMY move? ### 5/5 — Shimmy Moves *2022-12-17, version 1.3.0* I so love this only 7 minutes a day, can’t beat that, I get a sweat in and do my shimmy moves. ### 5/5 — Gets me moving! *2022-12-16, version 1.3.0* I love this app! I am so busy I barely have time for exercise but these 7 minutes I look forward to squeezing im my morning. I also love the variations because I am trying things I never thought or haven't done in forever like 80s dancing 💃🏼 😂!! It's so much fun!! ### 5/5 — Simply Put - AMAZING *2022-12-15, version 1.3.0* I love the workouts. I love the way the workouts are led. I love the external motivator of knowing that when I complete these by the 25th, people outside of myself will benefit as well. I sincerely wish this was an app outside of advent. I would workout all day every day if donations were being made and fun was being had. Truly cannot sing my praises enough. I am very grateful for the people that put this app together and for the vision that inspired it. ### 5/5 — Movement and connection fun! *2022-12-09, version 1.2.2* I am having a blast moving and connecting with friends and family. Sharing the videos support’s accountability, connection and laughter! Bravo!!! ### 5/5 — Fun, varied, free! *2022-12-06, version 1.2.1* Such a great way to ring in the holidays! ### 5/5 — Where’s the iPad version? *2022-12-06, version 1.2.1* I’ve been needing *something* to get me going again- when I say I’ve always been fit before I mean I was a goddess who could do anything but run and those d*mn HIIT exercises. Incurable cancer diagnosis, husband alienating my children against me, the abusing ex-wife decided my partner of Xys needed to play Hate & Destroy (Me) with her & their kids so he groveled back to me, then to her, then to me while she engaged in grand theft, tax fraud, assaulted me- all that landed on me … it’s time to stop saying WTF‽ and have the time of the old pagan celebration bring back this impersonation of a goddess- and thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — No like *2022-12-29, version 1.5.0* You would have gotten more if it was still free I can’t afford to donate to a charity I am in need myself ### 4/5 — Great idea! *2022-12-24, version 1.5.0* Philanthropic giving does motivate me! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Fun, but some days are hard on the knees *2022-12-15, version 1.3.0* I love the workouts but wish the instructions included alternatives to sone of the jumping moves, which I modify myself but if they do another one of these it would be nice to be shown/told an alternate move or just told go at your own pace and modify as needed **Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback! We'll make a note to include more modifications for next December's workouts. (This is Shimmy's founder writing, and I was just diagnosed with a meniscus tear, so I sympathize with your request, ha!) ### 5/5 — Super fun workouts! *2023-11-28* I love the workouts and the great boost of energy I get in just 7 minutes. They’re really easy to fit into any day. Shout out to my fave instructor Rocky! ### 5/5 — Love these workouts!!! *2023-03-09* These are super fun, and since they’re only 7mins, it’s easy to try different styles and combine them for a longer workout. The instructors have great energy and I’m impressed how much I can feel the difference in such a short time. ### 5/5 — Shimmy is Underrated *2023-02-04, version 1.7.0* I love how Shimmy is very body positive and meets you in wherever your physical health is at. I struggle with getting myself to the gym, but Shimmy is able to give me the motivation to workout with some great instructors and a calendar to keep track of my progress. What really sold me though was the fact that Shimmy doesn't force you to watch ads or pay some big subscription like other apps do. If that were the case, I would probably look at exercise routines on Youtube instead (which give more tolerable ad-viewing times anyways). But Shimmy shows that the people behind this app care about you getting into shape, without locking you out behind a paywall. I have to extend my support for this reason. Thank you and the people who made this app. I hope that more apps continue to follow your example. ### 5/5 — Amazing variety of fun guided ~7min movement! *2023-02-03, version 1.7.0* Teachers are great, lovely to get short movement in 1 or more times a day, variety of offerings! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love these mini workouts *2023-02-02, version 1.7.0* What a wonderful way to donate and get a workout at the same time. I like how you have so many different choices to pick from. ### 5/5 — Amazing Tome *2023-01-31, version 1.7.0* I really enjoyed the month of January with all the different workouts with all the different trainers. Looking forward to February and crushing that month too💪💃 THANK YOU SHIMMY!!! ### 5/5 — LOVE SHIMMY *2023-01-29, version 1.7.0* I am loving shimmy, learning new ways to exercise, eating money for charity and it’s fun!!! ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Uplifting! *2023-01-23, version 1.6.1* Such and easy and fun way to uplift your mood and get your heart pumping!! ### 5/5 — Fun, efficient workout *2023-01-23, version 1.6.1* These workouts are so short that they are not intimidating at all. They’re fun and accessible. Good music and instructors. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2023-01-11, version 1.6.1* Great app, only 7 minutes a day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
